[Cricket] ***Sussex CCC v Middlesex CCC, CC Div 2, Hove, 18-21 August 2019***

[BensGrandad]

We seem to be doing our best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

 

[Exile]

Bloody ell, they thought Carey had gone first ball. Middlesex were sure he nicked it, stood his ground.

Bloody Aussie cheats!




Oh.

 

[maltaseagull]

Bloody Aussie cheats!




Oh.

Should we boo him?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

If their last wicket pair can put on 40 the wicket must be good enough for our top batsmen to have a field day.

Now look what you've done.

Some people never learn.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Painful listening, if these two can hang in tonight, they could slowly get us over the line.

14 off the last over, so maybe not so slowly?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Carey hits two sixs

100 for 3

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Three sixes

 

[DJ NOBO]

Three sixes

Keep up at the back

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Four sixes off the over

52 NO

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Keep up at the back

Never in doubt

 

[jakarta]

Four sixes off the over

52 NO

Henceforth to be known as 'Blocker' Carey...

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

3 an over could just about do it from here...

Tonight that is.

 

[Gwylan]

Grr...Commentary went just as Sowter came on to bowl.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

10 to win, come on

 

[banjo]

All over.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Superb win. Puts us back in the chase

WIth Gloucestershire and Derbyshire away

Then Worcestershire at home.

What do we need (or does Oli need) to do to get a top three spot (11 points away) and promotion. 2 wins rain permitting or win all three.

 

[timbha]

What a wonderful game 4 day cricket is (or usually 3 days for Sussex)

Expect 3 draws.... since the extension of the season in to September it's essential to get your points in the bag early and not have to rely on dodgy late season weather.

We need three wins really

The tests will be over by then so we should have Archer back ... fingers crossed
